Anti-aircraft gunners and pilots of the 63rd separate mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down the Russian experimental reconnaissance drone Merlin-VR, Khortytsia operational-strategic group of forces said on Telegram.

"It can take to the air as high as 5 km and be 10 hours there, which is many times longer than Supercam and ZALA. Interestingly, two FPV crews were hunting for this experimental Merlin reconnaissance aircraft," the report says.
